Great to meet the 2023 @SeaWatchersUK #Orcawatch crew this week. Only seven more sleeps to go and if you're heading up to Caithness, Orkney or Shetland you're in great hands with such amazing group of people. Fin(ger)s crossed for great Orca encounters like these. #orcawatch2023

Replying to @Shark_ManDan
We encourage that people seek out a @WiSeScheme accredited vessel knowing that they have gone through some training - I believe this is mainly for wildlife watching experiences/coastal adventure activities though rather than being intended for angling vessels.

Continue to be a proud advisor to the ECHO Program, to reduce the impacts of shipping. Since 2017, thousands of operators have slowed down or stayed distanced while in endangered SR killer whale habitat, reducing underwater sound by up to 55%. #QuieterOceansForHealthierWhales

A plea to folks: if you see a single chough & it is calling persistently, please move away as you are too close to him and probably his nest site. Please give choughs space at this time of year. Thank you!
